Choo: (enter lecture room via rear door)Drugtech said:Remember for that second lab practical how we all tagged structures on our cadavers. Well, one of our structures was a really good phrenic nerve. Choo comes up to me and actually asked me, "How you know phrenic?" I don't know how to even approach an answer to that question. I was like, "wha?"
samdwi said:Choo: (enter lecture room via rear door)
PJG: Hey you, what time is it?
Choo: Huh?
PJG: Its 9:05, your 5 minutes late, grab a quiz and sit down.
Choo: stunned - I...I...I so sorry
Class: aaaawwwwww...
PJG: Its OK (laughs so hard he probably had a hernia)
Choo: ok? OK!! (scrambles to find seat while muttering something)
Everyone really likes Choo thereafter

Dr. G- "you all need to be prepared for this class! You need to have watched these anatomy videos! By the way what topic are we covering........?" and Alpha team ripping out an enire spine after massacre with a "stryker" saw in which Lt. Stryker is born......

DMC's Rat-tooth forceps which we "borrowed": Priceless!!
And we're still missing a blunt probe dammit.
Drugtech said:Well, I'm sitting in Medical Mycology (part II) right now, and I've just realized that this has to be my favorite class Does anyone know if we are actually going to learn medical mycology? Just a thought.

samdwi said:I need a few things cleared up, just for my own knowledge:
1. What happens if you fail a rotation?
2. Has anyone checked if the wireless works outside the building? Maybe someone should go out there with a laptop to check....seriously...
If anyone knows someone who can answer these questions, do let me know...
BMW19 said:1) If you fail a rotation you remediate with Dr. Mati....shi
2) I have not checked if the wireless works at the picnic table because the picnic table is somewhere in Lawrenceville.....
Price for a Spiral Groove ticket $39
Price for a beer at 9:59 P.M. $6

Let it be known that the functions of CN IV are INTORSION, DEPRESSION, and ABDUCTION of the eye.samdwi said:CN-IV Down and in or Down and out????
SOMEBODY LOOK ME IN THE EYE (PUN SO INTENDED) AND GIVE ME THE TRUTH
Seriously, the American College of Opthalmology would like to know as well...
Source:Superior and inferior oblique muscles are the primary muscles of torsion. The superior oblique creates incyclotorsion, and the inferior oblique creates excyclotorsion. As the direction of pull for both muscles forms a 51° angle (relative to the visual axis in the primary position), secondary and tertiary actions occur.
The secondary action of the oblique muscles is vertical, and it is best demonstrated when the eye is adducted with the superior oblique acting as a depressor and the inferior oblique acting as an elevator of the eye. The tertiary action for each muscle is abduction.

Down and out forever, baby!
Utah Med is the mouthpiece of the devil. Don't let them sway you towards the darkside! They must be confusing the clinical test of CN IV with the action of the superior oblique muscle. By gazing medially, the axis of the eye is aligned with the muscle, thus better isolating the superior oblique for downward gaze.samdwi said:Seems to be confusion on rotation of the eyeball (inwards) as opposed to its abduction (outwards)...ergo down in in vs out
I say we surgically remove the darned thing at birth from now on.

And yes, I agree that we should remove the blasted thing at birth from now on. However--that presents us with a problem: which way will the eye deviate without the function of CN IV and the superior oblique?!?

samdwi said:Which way indeed!! Also, how would it affect the oculocephalogyric reflex?? I think I see a summer research project with the Ganttster on the horizon:
Dwivedi, S. et al., The effects of Superior Oblique muscle retraction on oculocephalogyric reflex vis-a-vis Cranial Nerve 4, Journal of WTF; Trays 3&4 Publishers; June 2006.
If that doesnt get me an optho residenency, nothing will.
BMW19 said:Best PP I have seen yet:
Dr. E's PP on migraines, taken from Netter with the woman blowing chunks just to show that vomiting is involved with migraines. I think we should blow it up.
Drugtech said:So, you're saying we should blow up what this woman is blowing out?
If that's the best powerpoint, then the picture of the girl holding her own hair back while in status vomitus is a close second. Maybe a tie for second is the one with the old lady sitting on her vanity stool naked as a jay bird, as if that somehow better defines polymyalgia rheumatica. *Sigh* back to the wubbulous world of neoplasia
Don't forget chicken sarcoma!BMW19 said:Wow I don't know what to do with myself now. I'm like a Duck who got separated from the pack while crossing the street. Oh wow Post MS-I delerium is fun.....No more of my friends Ras, Myc, Jun and Fos
sketches said:Don't forget chicken sarcoma!
Yeah, I totally feel the same way. I got home today and almost took out my notebook out of habbit. How pathetic is that? Anyway, congrats to the class of 2009. Let's not party too hard tonight... we'll need some surviving neurons to get us through next year!
BMW19 said:Isn't the Jury still out on whether neurons can be regenerated now? I am with the progressive group that says YES they can be! Let's Drink.....

Wow, are you really that far behind? I finished reading Harrisons over two weeks ago and am now reading every issue of JAMA in chronological order.BMW19 said:Just finished First Aid and now moving on to reading all BRS, High Yield and Roadmaps. After that its on to OMM and a little light reading of Harrison's (big daddy). Then i'll be ready to start year 2.
Ha Ha. I make myself laugh sometimes......

Kudos to the PLAY club. I must have saved about $100 to $120 at Johnny Carino's so far using their PLAY card.
I am using that cash to buy a gun. I have been convinced by a certain unnamed classmate that the Russians and Chinese are going to invade soon...and then I saw Patrick Swayze in "Red Dawn", so I also bought cans of spray-paint and vegetarian baked-beans to survive the onslaught...
So what are YOU doing with your Carino's savings???
